South Africa vs West Indies 3rd T20I Match Predictions
National teams
Wanderers Stadium
The South Africans chased down the biggest target in the history of T20i in the second game against the West Indies. They chased the target of 259 runs in just 18.5 overs in the second innings. South Africa lost the first T20i match but soon redeemed themselves with a bang in the 2nd game. With such calibre, South Africa will surely roar in the 3rd T20i against West Indies.
The West Indians were also seen in their best shape as they gave the hosts a monstrous target of 259 runs. They passed the first innings with flying colours but failed to defend the target in the second innings. They haven’t won a series in this tour yet and would want to see themselves lift the T20i trophy after defeating South Africa in the 3rd game of the series.
Below are the match predictions and betting tips for the 3rd T20I match between West Indies and South Africa.
Facts
- Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks opened remarkably well for the South African team in the 2nd T20i. They both made an opening partnership of 152 runs in the second innings. We are siding with them to give South Africa a solid start in the 3rd game of the series.
- West Indies will depend on Johnson Charles and their captain Rovman Powell to score runs for them in the final match of the series. Johnson Charles was amazing with his 118 runs in the last game, while Rovman Powell has contributed crucial runs in both the T20i matches of the series. Charles and Powell can be the destroyers for the South African bowling line-up on the 28th of March 2023.
- Kagiso Rabada will be the best pacer for the South African panel. Rabada was the most economical bowler for South Africa in the previous run-fest match. He was the highest wicket-taker in the test series and we favour him to be the highest wicket-taker in the T20i series as well.
- West Indies will be dependent on their most experienced bowler in the team, Sheldon Cottrell to take some important wickets for West Indies. Cottrell is expected to take over 2 wickets in the 3rd match of the T20i series against South Africa.
South Africa vs West Indies Chance of Winning
Both of these teams have won 1 game in the series and will play the series decider on 28th March 2023. South Africa has benefits such as winning momentum and home advantage which might rule this game on their side. Hence, we are backing the South African team to emerge victorious in this 3rd T20I match against the Caribbean and they have a 60/40 chance of winning this match against the West Indies.
South Africa vs West Indies Predictions and Betting Tips 2023
- If the South African team bats first, the first innings score is going to be around 175-185 runs on the board because they have a very strong batting unit.
- If the chance to bat in the first innings is with the visitors, we can expect the score to be around 166-176 runs on the scoreboard.
- Final Prediction for the fixture – South Africa to win the game.
South Africa vs West Indies Match Toss Prediction
The match is to be played at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg which has a capacity of 34,000 fans and it is expected to be a full house on Tuesday when they play against each other. This pitch like all the other pitches in South Africa has some extra bounce and something extra for the bowlers in it. But it is expected to be an even contest between the bat and the ball. Teams batting first have almost the same winning record as teams batting second but dew can play an important role in what the captains decide to do at the toss. The team winning the toss is expected to bowl first at this venue because of the fast outfield and dew factor.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to be nice and pleasant in Johannesburg on Tuesday evening when both these teams play against each other. Rain is expected and should stay away from the match because the fans are waiting for this much-anticipated match for a long time.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: South Africa
Considering all the factors, we are favouring the South African team to exhibit the same performance as they did in the second match of the series. They have a strong batting attack that knows how to tackle big targets and chase them. It will be a challenging task for the West Indies to conquer South Africa at home. Therefore, we predict the Africans to come out on top and lift the T20i trophy.
